Chav isnt a term for the 'working class'?? It's for absolute morons! I was brought up in a council estate by a single mum. Not once have I ever worn gold jewelry, drunk cider, or worn a kappa tracksuit. lol

Peter Mandelson et al are offensive to the white working class.

Hoodie to me means hooded crow - Corvus cornix

why is this woman deciding on what dressing correctly is, its a subculture of mainly white working class british people, who have their own sense of what looks good their own style.

looking at her i wouldn't say she is in any position to dictate on what is and isnt stylish.

@Wildfox01 i agree well said!

Middle class Socialists make me laugh. Okay you remove discipline from schools, ban parents from smacking their kids, reduce prison sentences and limit the powers of the police. The word 'Chav' is a by-product of the evolutionary changes in society. Now the Socialist PC brigade are in force to band the word Chav! What they should be asking themselves, why is there a culture of the word Chav born from 1990. It's not rocket science; No discipline equals chaos which leads to antisocial behaviour!

chav = someone who is socially retarded and only go around in packs of 5+

[andrettt777]

i think some people may be offended and i think its understandable. I think that the media and people generally should stop using the term. I do think it is patronising and down grading.

[MrGilles1990]

yes lets ban "chav" instead lets call them sub-human scum!

[xxGuItArGiRLxx89]

Chavs are so hilarious!
